Abstract
There is provided a method for producing a semiconductor device, the method facilitating removal of a growth substrate from a semiconductor layer. A decomposition layer formation step involves extension of a plurality of threading dislocations during growth of a decomposition layer. A bridging portion formation step involves exposure of the threading dislocations to the surface of a bridging portion. A decomposition step involves widening of the threading dislocations exposed to the surface of the bridging portion, to thereby provide a plurality of through holes penetrating the bridging portion; decomposition of at least a portion of the decomposition layer exposed in the interior of the through holes; and discharge of a decomposition product generated through decomposition of the decomposition layer via the through holes to the outside of the bridging portion, to thereby provide a first void in a portion of a region where the decomposition layer has remained.
